Question

What is VUDU and which Philips products have VUDU?

Answer

VUDU is a movie on-demand service that allows users to instantly stream over 20,000 films using a high-speed internet connection. Movies are available in three different formats: SD (480p), HD (720p), and HDX (1080p/24). VUDU uses a pay-per-view model with no monthly fees. Movies are available for rent and/or purchase, depending upon the licensing agreement with the studio of the content; movies are added to the service on a weekly basis. All you need to get started is a VUDU-enabled Philips TV, BDP or HTS and a high-speed internet connection.

VUDU is a pay-as-you-go service (i.e. VUDU does not charge subscription fees). As you rent or purchase movies, the per-movie viewing prices will be charged to the credit card on your VUDU account.
